Sure, put a Kindle on it

Yes... Get a large brown paper bag and put it and your head inside....... Works everywhere except underwater.

Simples!

Thats what I thought as Ive had it for a couple of years and bought things for it so i can take it to the beach etc and in the water but cant use it to read my bloody books and mags.

regards Steve.

Ha Ha the paper bag sounds good??.Don't want to get a Kindle as I payed 500 quid on the ipad which ive had a couple of yers but maybe I might think about a Kindle if I cant get a fix !!!.

I use the Kindle app on my s4 and tablet and I find that changing the text to white on black makes a difference and switching auto brightness off.

A black towel over your head and the ipad works pretty well. Sorry, but Wander beat me to the Kindle.

thanks ill try it

It should be possible for someone to provide detachable screen bellows like these collapsible ones for digital camera viewing screens. Those only go up to about 2.5" at present. They work well in bright light:

Give an Anti Glare screen protector a go - only a few quid so worth a go. I hate screen protectors so haven't tried any to see if they work.

There's a Pedelecs forum here for off-topic conversations. I'll flag it to see if a mod is willing to move it.

Dont buy an i pad. The screen on mine cracked this summer. I am waiting until it dies until I buy a Galaxy Tab which will support some of the things I want to use it for.

 

I pad and i phones, i dont think so.

I just bought a Lenovo A7 in Argos:

 

£110 and a £20 voucher.

 

Not my first tablet, but amazingly good at any price.

With a lovely IPS screen, which is so important on a tab.

 

Chuffed to bits. 8-)

I'm looking for an eink android tablet. That would be the perfect combo of awesome battery life, work emails, internet reading and kindle app reading.

I would recommend a kindle (or any ebook reader) iPads are great for many things, i love them, but for reading ebooks I find the kindle light years ahead (the paperwhite is especially nice, but the basic ones are good too)

The missus bought something similar to this for her iPad and I would say it cuts out most of the glare, but it doesn't turn the screen totally matte.
